"REAL ESTATE SPEAKS.

He Repudiates the Assertion That
the Real Estate Business Is Not
Legitimate Business" or That
1t is Going Into Bankruptcy.
To the Editor of the Globe.
l clip the following paragraph from
an article on the local page of the Pho
neer Press of yesterday morning. The
purpose of the article was to show that
there is plenty of money for legitimate
trading, and that all kinds of business
are healthy except one-the real estate
busineSs-and that everybody is finan-
ciaily sound with the exception of the
real estate men. To quote:
There may be some embarrassment among
the real estate dealers. who are mortgaged
more heavily than they can stand, but no
fear of trouble in other lines of business is
evinced.
Again the article says:
There has been and always will be plenty
of money for legitimate purposes in the city,
and while several real estate dealers have,
owing to the auietude of the realty market,
mortgaged their property heavily and are I'M
legitimate trading business. whether retail,
wholesale or jobbing, will receive ample ac-
commodation.
In the first quotation the real estate
dealers are spoken of, as q whole. as
having mertgaged their property more
heavily than they can stand, and in the
second quotation the insinuation is
strong that the real estate business is
not a Legitimate trading business"
Why thus discredit real estate deal
ers? Why is not this business ''legiti-
mate busineSs?" Iu what way is it lille
ultimate?
On the contrary. have not the real es-
tate dealers brought more money to this
city for investment and improvement
than any other class of business men?
And have they not done it in perfectly
Legitimate" way?
Again, it is not true that the real es-
tate dealers are mere set of adventur-
ers and gamblers, ''wfo are mortgaged
more heavily than they can stand"

DISGRACEFUL.

1t takes an earthquake to shake the
earth. And so it has taken a booming
big sensation to awaken our public
officials to the necessity of providing
for the appointment of jail matrons.
For the last two or three years the
GLOBE has been most persistently urg-
ing this feature of prison reform upon
those whose duty it was to give it atten-
ton. but it went unheeded. until. now
the community is startled by the
shocking developments made by the
city press yesterday morning in the
case of the outrage perpetrated by
three officials of the Ramsey county
Jail on the person of an insane woman
Probably the county commissioners
will now recognize the force of what
the GLOBE has heretofore said On this
subject and will appoint Jail matron.
But the appointment of matrOn is
not the only reform needed in the Ram
sey county jail. To begin, we need
new Jail building, a larger one and one
that is provided with some conveniences
and one that is constructed with some
regard to sanitary conditions.
1t is not expected that a common
prison shall be palace in its equip
mentS, nor that it should even compare
in comfort to the average private dwell
ing. But common humanity would
suggest that, though it be the abode of
criminals and of those suspected of
crime, still its walls and floors should
be kept in neat condition.. the bedding
should be clean, the air pure and the
diet of the prisoners be healthy. 1t is
not humane that lot of human beings
should be cramped UP in such quar-
tiers as the Ramsey county Jail.
1t is dingy. dirty hole, that is hardly a
fit place for the imprisonment of brute,
and without any apparent effort on the
part of anybody to better its condition.
The GLOBE is not disposed to be I'M
justly cenSOrious, nor to attribute fault
to any particular person. But it does
assert in general way that the Jail in
its present condition, and with the pres
ent state of affairs existing there, is not
only disgrace to Ramsey county, but
it is blot upon civilization. If the
board of corrections and charities
haven't the power to bring about re-
form in the county Jail management,
then in the name of heaven let those
who have the power set themselves to
work to accomplish it, and that right

Paul & Duluth road, was STOPPING over
hand car endeavoring to lift it from
the track when switch engine struck
him, breaking the main artery of the
right leg and badly bruising the left.
The accident will lay him up for some
time. After being hurt he was ex-
tremely anxious that his name should
mot appear in print. He wore very fine
clothing underneath suit of Overalls,
and among his papers was a diploma
from an eastern college comforting an
AZ Al. degree. His bearing is Totally at
yarience with that of section foreman,
and he is finely educated. His associ-

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Donna Diana" is not strong play. but an
exceedingly pleasing one. AS to be expected
of play of Spanish origin. it has a tropical
coloring, and, of course, love is the theme
the only theme, except the accompanying
intrigue which is characteristic of Spanish
love-making. 1t is an artificial comedy mod
eled somewhat Oh the plan of SHAkEspEARE,s
Much Ado About Nothing Donna Diana
is a veritable Lady Disdain, who scorns the
signs of her suitors and imagines that love is
a fictitious sentiment which can never find a
lodgment in her imperious nature. Don
Cesar. who is in love with the callous beauty,
under the instructions of his friend Perry in
lays siege to the citadel of her proud
heart and finally triumphs. The methods
employed by Don Cesar to reduce the
naughty belle to submission NAV have been
effective enough in Spain in the age of ro-
nance represented by the time of the play.
but they wouldn't so here in st. Paul at this
period. Hence there is an air of inconsist-
ency and unnaturalness about the play. Not
Wlthstanding that fact MoDJEsKA animates
the title role with SO charming life that
one forgets the incongruities of the plot in
the display of her Incompatible technique.
There is nothing in the play to give scope to
MoDJEsKA's higher dramatic power but in
the lmpersonation Of Diana there Is splendid
opportunity for those delicate touches of re-
fined art which are peculiarly characteristic
OF MoDJEsKAs acting. In the light yet vivid
portrayal of the changing sentiments that
struggle for mastery in the Donna's heart
MoDJEsKA makes her, even in the moment of
surrender, the highbred lady who is aristo-
cratic alike by nature and by breeding.
The entire support last night was excep-
tionally fine. The character of Don Cesar is

leading comedy work in way, always to re-
fleet credit on the name he bears Miss FIJI

Won't Pay Any Attention.

Aberdeen Repueiicaa.
The cartoon in Saturdays st. Paul
GLOBE is a good one. The sly foxes Of
the South of course are shedding croco-
die tears before the owls of the North
in order to persuade them to come down
from their perch SO they can devour
them, but those kind of tears have had
their effect upon the boys of the North
before. The attempt to steal the name
of Dakota and appropriate it to their
own selfish purposes, and the attempt
to remove the capital from North Da-
kota are evidence of the sly foxes ghoul-
ish propensitieS. These and many of
their dfShonorable acts too numerous to
mention. are staring the men of the
North in the face. and we do not be-
lieve they will pay any attention to the
fearful appeals of the Southern foxes.
The South can accomplish nothing so
long as North and Central Dakota re-
main loyal to their interests and the
general government.

COLOR BLIND.

The bitter partisan tendency of the
Associated Press management was for
chilly illustrated In the report sent out of
the Macon proceedings on the occasion
of JEFF DAVIS visit to that town. In
a speech at Cincinnati last night Gov.
GORDON, of Georgia, made a truthful
statement of the affair. A dozen Macon
citizens made fools of themselves by
unfur ling little Confederate flags.
Thousands of patriotic Georgians at the
same time and at the same place UNI
furled the stars and stripes. Yet for
the sole purpose of.stirring up sectional
strife and creating sectional bitterness
the press reports contained no mention
of the thousands of national banners
which fl0ated over the Georgia town,
but did contain glaring and sensational
accounts of the Confederate flags that
a few foolish persons had hoisted. 1t
was an Infamous piece of dirty partisan
work that disgusts every faIr-minded
American citizen without regard to
party or section.

HE ATE AN ELEPHANT.
A New and Delightful Anecdett
of ThaCkeraY


The publication of the Thackeray LET
tiers in Scribner's Magazine has called
forth much new material of an anec-
dotai character, both in this country and
abroad. Miss Henriette Corkran. the
writer, tells the readers of Temple Bar
what she remembers of the genial nov
elist when child of seven. One anec-
dote illustrates his kindness of heart
and love for children. She writes of
him:
Il can distinctly recall the big white
mead, the SpectacleS the rosy face and the
sweet sunny smile which positively IL
lum1ned his coutenance and made it. al

way. he had formidable appearance,
being over six feet, and broad in pro-
portion. We children were like pygmies
clustering round the knees of BrObdig-
nag. Mr.. Thackeray was our fayorite
giant. But evidently he was not too
TALL or too great to take an interest
In our childish games. How often
mas he sat amongst us, inquiring ten
derry about my dolls. He remembered
all their names and had made out gen
ealoglcal tree, SO that every poupee had
distinct history of her own. One late
afternoon. after having told us delight
full stories, Mr.. Thackeray remarked
that he must leave us at once, he was
so terribly hungry. We coaxed him to
remain, and told him that we really
cocld give him good dinner.
There is nothing, my dears, you can
give me-" he answered with fnnny
little sigh, for Icould only eat the chob
OF rhlnoceros or a slice from an ele-
phant.'

year-old sister. We saw her disappear
into large cupboard. She emerged a
few seconds after. with a look of tri-
umph on her fat little face, holding in
her hands wooden rhinoceros and an
elephant from her NOahs ark, and
putting the two animals On plate. she
handed them with great gravity to Mr..
Thackeray. Never can Iforget the look
of delight on the great mans face: how
he laughed and rubbed his hands with
glee, and then, taking the child I'D in
his arms, kissed her, remarking: 'Ah.

THE ANARCHISTS CASE.

The argument in the anarchist case
closed yesterday, and the condemned
men will soon know whether they are
to be hung on the 11th OF next month, or
whether life with them for the next two
or three years is TO be one of anxious
suspense awaiting the final judgment of
the supreme court. Of course there is
no basis upon which one eaneven guess
at the decision of the court on the appli-
cation for writ of error. But our
Washington dispatches inform us that
there is well defined opinion among
those who heard the arguments that the
application for writ of error will be
denied and the Judgment of the Illinois
court will be enforced unless Gov.
OGLESBY interpOSes with the executive

CHOLERA MENACEs CHICAGO.

According to telegram from Surgeon
General HAMILTON, there are probably
eighteen Italian emiglants floating
around Chicago who have been exposed
to the cholera, and it would not be sur
prising if the discovery were made later
that this dread disease had made it's ap-
pearance in the Garden City. The ac-
ton of the quarantine officials of New
York, in allowing these exposed emf
grants with their baggage to pass
through the port of New York and out
into the West, deserves the seyerest con-
demnation. Cholera once started in
Chicago would undoubtedly make wide
sweep through that city, since the
climate of Northern Illinois. especially
at this time of the year, and the peculiar
atmosphere hanging over the city, con-
taminated by the breath of pollution and
the miasina that arises from the stag
nant river, hardly more than sewer,
which winds through the center of the
city, are elements and conditions upon

A. NOVEL PUNISHMENT.
How Some Market Gardeners Got
Even With Three Fruit Steal

The market gardeners at Clamart. that
pleasant village in the enyirons of
Paris. have just hit upon novel and
original way of dealing out justice
On maiefactors with advantage
to their own pockets, writes
Paris correspondent of the London Tele-
graph. For some time past these
worthy people had noticed with censid-
cradle grief the disappearance of poul-
try from their yards and Of fruit from
their trees; so at length they deter
mined wisely on keeping sharp look
out. A few nights ago an improvised
patrol came suddenly upon three men,
whom it caught in the very act OF
stripping vine.
The thieves attempted to decamp. but
three guns pointed simultaneously at
them ''purwailed on them to STOP and
await the issue of events. Three market
gardenersthen advanced to the spot and,
to their unspeakable establishment, dis
covered i'll the delinquents three yiilag-
erS with whom they were we'll ac-
quainted. The culprits. overcome with
shame and confusion, fell On their knees
and implored their captors to. spare
them. They would never repeat the of
Tense, and they would be eternally
grateIu1 II the matter were not brought
before the court.
The market gardeners held hurried
consultation, and while reminding each
other that the quality of mercy is not
strained bright idea struck them. Re
turning to their prisoners they informed
them that they would not prosecute
them, but sentence them On their own
account to various pains and penalties.
They must eXpiate their guilt by three
days hard labor on their property.
Overjoyed at being LET off the disgrace
of trial, the delinquents consented to
the bargain. The next morning they
were up with the lark. All through the
day they toiled in one garden or the
other. The next two days were devoted
to like task, and yesterday, their term
OF imprisonment being at an end, they
went about as usual. but very crest
fallen, for the story had come out at
CLAIMANT and many jokes were INDUCED
in at their expense.

STATEHOOD FOR DAKOTA.

Republicans to Make Vigorous
Effort for Her Admission This
Winter.
Washington special to the New York
World: The Republican leaders are
going to make vigorous effort to get
Dakota into the Union at the coming
session of congress. They are anxious
to secure her electoral vote in the next
presidential election. Dakota has been
knocking for admission at the doors of
congress for a number of years. She
has more than the requisite population.
and would probably have been admitted
before had it not been for dispute over
the division of the territory into North
and South Dakota. South Dakota con-
tainS the bulk of the population and the
best lands: and the residents of North
Dakota have objected strenueusly to the
separation.
The Republicans would like to get an
enabling act through congress to admit
South and North Dakota, as it would
materially advance their chances of
electing the next president. In the last
congress there were seven Democrats. it
is said, who were willing to vote with
the Republicans for the admission of
Ooutu Ddhotd. 1i1S I'clliOCldllC lHdJOT-
ity has been largely reduced in the
house, and if ten Democrats can be in
duced to vote with the Republicans this
winter Dakota can be admitted. The
Republicans are confident of carrying
their point.
1t is not believed, however, that any
new states will be created until after
the presidential election next year.
Washington and Montana Territories
are both eligible for admission into the
Union, and the cha noes are that a COM
promise will be effected to admit all
three states at once.
